Prosecutor makes full disclosure in West Ruimveldt murder case

The Police prosecutor has provided the defence with evidence in the case stemming from a murder at West Ruimvedlt, Georgetown, including witness statements, pictures, and videos.
Last Friday, the prosecution fully disclosed the evidence in the charge against 34-year-old Anthony LaRose of Kuru Kururu, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, who is accused of killing Dexter Horsham.

At the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, when the case was called before Magistrate Rhondell Weever, LaRose’s attorney, Gordon Gilhuys, asked that his client’s aunt sign for and uplift the items. His request was granted. Regarding how the matter will proceed, the Magistrate inquired from Gilhuys as to whether he preferred a Paper Committal or a Preliminary Inquiry.
The defence attorney asked for a brief postponement, stating that he wanted to examine the evidence before reaching a decision. Another hearing is scheduled for February 12, 2024.
LaRose is accused of murdering Horsham on August 10.
He has not been required to plea to the indictable charge.
Horsham, 43, a construction worker, was fatally shot and chopped while trying to protect a soldier from a mob of men who came to evict him from the house he had been occupying with his young son and pregnant wife. The incident had also left Horsham’s cousin, Corwyne Abrams, a 38-year-old taxi driver from Charlestown, Georgetown, injured and hospitalised.

It was reported that Ezekiel Subhan, a 25-year-old Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Lance Corporal, who resides at Lot 426 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was at home with his 23-year-old reputed wife when he heard someone knocking at his door and calling for “inside”. As a result, Subhan went out to the front door, looked outside and saw a man at the door who told him to remove from the house. “The man claimed that he bought the house from his (Subhan’s) great-uncle. However, Subhan told the man that he was not going anywhere and that he should get the Police involved since he did not come with a document of ownership for the property,” said a Police report. As a result, they argued, and six other identifiable men exited a black pick-up vehicle with registration number GLL 7950 and aggressively entered the yard and rushed to the GDF rank.
By then, a crowd had gathered, which included the victim, Horsham, and Abrams.
A fight then broke out, and one of the men who came out of the pick-up vehicle and who was armed with a handgun discharged three rounds. Horsham and his cousin were struck by the bullets. They were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where Horsham was pronounced dead. After committing the act, the group of men went back into the vehicle and drove off. (G1)
